Fun, Realistic Frog
You see the front cover. The rest of the book is like that: beautiful, vivrant images of the star, a lone red-eyed tree frog. Both of my children love this book!
My 2 year old likes to yell, "Look out frog," "Jump," and "Crunch, crunch, crunch,"at the appropriate pages. My four year old likes it, too. The pictures are nice and vibrant. This is one of their favorites. ... Read more

Grow frog, grow!
The see how they grow series is yet another quality series put out by Dorling Kindersley (aka DK). Purchase them all if you can! Inspite of what the Horn Book review says, I found the presentation to be attractive and appropriate for younger children.The last two pages are a pictorial summary of how the frog grew from egg to tadpole to one year-old frog. ...

Another winner by Mark Blum
It would be difficult to assemble a finer 3-D book. Everything works. Until you see this book, you have not seen a frog, a snake or a gecko. The detail in the eyes, feet and tongues are amaizing. This book really puts things in perspective. For children AND adults.

Amphibians & reptiles in 3-D
Fabulous book with stereo 3-D photos! GREAT FUN for ALL Ages!!
Well, I am running out of superlatives for Mark Blum's work! I just have to repeat myself - AMPHIBIANS AND REPTILES IN 3-D is simply FABULOUS!! One of the MANY wonderful aspects of this book is how it takes you right INTO the world of these creatures. YOU get shrunk down to the size of a tree frog to meet one! AMAZING! Read more

A variety of poems presenting reptile facts within a fantasy
This book presented facts about types of reptiles through poetry in a way that captivated my five-year-old boy.He enjoyed the whimsical pictures and the context:imagining what it would be like to see reptiles dancing at a ball--without eating each other!In addition to reptile facts, the book demonstrated many different types of poetic form.A rhythmic reading of this books entertained and involved him from start to finish.This book could be used to teach zoology or poetry, but in both cases the result would be a fun time for all. ...

Great science series....
This entire series of books on animals, their habitats, life cycles, etc. are wonderful! I own 13 of them now. I use these with my first graders during our animal unit. Each book has fantastic pictures and drawings. The information is presented very well but also simply enough that primary aged students can grasp the concepts and find it fascinating. The books also enable themselves to be read in pieces if you want to skip something or focus on a certain area. I highly recommend books by Bobbie Kalman! ... Read more

Editorial Review

Forget the birds and the bees--frog spawn is where it's at! When alittle girl and her mother read a story about a frog that grows bigger andbigger and bigger, they decide to watch some real frogs growing. Armed with a bucket, they head to a nearby pond and scoop up some of the "gray jelly stuff" floating on top. ("Yuck!" the girl says.) Over the next week or so, the spawn, now in a fish tank at home, develop into tadpoles, and then frogs. When the frogs start hopping onto stones so they can breathe air, it's time to return them to the pond. Vivian French's simple, amusing text (in a handprinted-style typeface) infuses life, humor, and plenty of personality into this environmentally sound, scientifically accurate introduction to frog metamorphosis. The girl's view of her evolving friends ("There were feathery things on their heads, and I could see their eyes") blends seamlessly with the explanatory text ("The feathery things are called gills, and they're what underwater animals use for breathing").

How to Hide a Meadow Frog and Other Amphibians
An entertaining book for toddlers and yooung children. I got to watch my son bounce up and down with glee as he found each hiding critter, and evenafter dozens of repetitions it's still one of his favorite books. Theillustrations are both bright and colorful, and realistic enough to give agood idea what the real animal looks like. ... Read more

Great book for reptile lovers of all ages.
Even though this book is intended for young adults, it is well written in that adults too will enjoy reading it.This book covers basic history, anatomy, defense mechanisms, predators, and life cycle of reptiles. It also includes a section about conservation and human threats to reptiles. It is an easy read for adults but not boring. There are many photos and illustrations in every section. The photos are detailed and eye catching. This is an excellent book for children who are interested in reptiles.If you are a fan of Mark O'Shea and his documentaries, then this is a must have for your reptile book collection. ... Read more

So life-like!
This coloring book has some beautiful pictures and the life-like images are wonderful to look at.The information that's written alongside the pictures is very helpful.But the best part are the pictures-the ones that you can color as well as the coloring keys.If I didn't know any better, Iwould think that the animals depicted were actually real! ...
